Reader’s Choice Kevin Drumm

In experimental music, the process tends to be at least as privileged as the results. But for more than a decade Kevin Drumm has managed to explore and take chances and still consistently strike gold. He’s restless in the best way, always developing and changing his work, satisfying his own curiosity. After working with exhilaratingly loud and abrasive sound for the past few years, he’s recently shifted course again. His superb new Imperial Distortion (Hospital) captures him navigating an unsettlingly quiet sound world, a sense of dread imbuing his long tone examinations.  hospitalproductions.com.
